USING YOUR RAMP
•Always fully open/extend the ramps before use to minimize the risk of
injury, and also make any ascent or descent using the ramps easier.

possible. Ensure the gradient of the ramps is not beyond the ability of the
wheelchair or occupant.
•Place the angled lip end of the ramp on the ground or low point, and place
the wide end of the ramp on the vehicle or high ground.
•Ensure the ramps are safe before use.
TO OPEN
•Place the ramp horizontally on the ground.
•Pull the locking pins out of the corresponding holes.
•Carefully lift the top ramp and fold it open using the hinged join between
the ramps until it is flat and in line with the lower ramp.
TO CLOSE
•Carefully lift one side of the ramp using the hinged join between the
ramps, until both ramps rest on top of each other.
•Insert the locking pins into the corresponding holes to secure the folded
ramp.
